Express WordPress: Quick Start Course to Managing A Website is a fast track WordPress website management course that is designed specifically for the time-strapped individual – to help you cut short your learning time, learn the ropes FAST and deliver actual results in the shortest possible time!
I have been helping businesses to manage their WordPress websites since 2009. In addition, I’ve been teaching on Udemy since 2014 and I provide ad hoc support on official WordPress forums and Reddit WordPress threads.
I often encounter people asking online for suggestions on how they can learn to use an existing WordPress website immediately. But I realized there are not many learning solutions out there that are tailored to this need!
Typically, full-length WordPress courses are hours long and cover WordPress features and functions in great detail. Learners are often overwhelmed with theoretical information (a lot of which are not required if your focus is on learning how to use or manage an existing WordPress website)…and they eventually lose momentum.
In reality, most working individuals don’t have the luxury of time. Yet, learning productivity is low when learners spend hours learning things that they don’t eventually need and do not contribute to their desired learning outcome. If this resonates with you, please keep on reading…
To this end, I have specially created this practical course to help busy working individuals like you to learn the ropes FAST and gain the confidence you need to manage a WordPress website like an experienced WordPress administrator!
Throughout this course, I will share with you my personal experiences in managing WordPress websites so that you can better position yourself for success!
Whether you are:
New to WordPress and are learning it from scratch, or
You have some basic WordPress knowledge and need to upskill yourself to improve your performance at work
This course will give you a solid foundation on the 'whats' and 'hows' to manage a WordPress website in as short a time as possible!
I have specially customized this course in the following ways to help you get the most out of your learning time:
Practical steps: I skip the theory and dive straight into the practical aspects of WordPress so you can gain the know-how to use WordPress as quickly as possible!
Cut to the chase: No beating around the bush, no fillers. Just real, solid content that will enable you to get your work done effectively – right from the first lesson!
Bite-sized lessons: Every lesson is kept short and concise to help you save time and maximize learning productivity!
Flexible learning: You don’t have to strictly follow through from beginning to end in order to benefit from this course. Apart from the first section (which covers the foundations), you are free to jump to relevant sections or videos as needed to boost your learning efficiency.
Learner-friendly: Even if you have zero background in WordPress, you will be able to follow this course easily as I will walk you through each lesson step by step to ensure that you’ll be competent in applying what you have learnt!
Following is the course outline and a summary of what you’ll be able to do immediately after taking this course:
Section 1: Setting A Strong Foundation
In the opening section, I will guide you on the 9 important things you must do when you first take over a WordPress website as an administrator, including logging in and securing the passwords for the application and web hosting, theme and plugin licensing issues (a topic which most other courses do not touch on), how to perform basic testing on your WordPress website and more.
Section 2: Updating The Content
In this section, you will gain the know-how to update/edit the content on your website. I will demonstrate step-by-step using 3 different popular page builders – Divi, Elementor and Gutenberg (which is the current default editor for WordPress websites).
